Scientists Put Together The Best Workout Playlist

Music always makes everything better, in my eyes. Especially a good workout. When you find the right song, you start getting after it in the gym, on the track or where ever you are working out. Well, a group of scientists have found the perfect workout playlist to get you the best results.

You would think that a workout playlist would be determined by the person. Well, according to Dr. Costas Karageorghis, deputy head of the School of Sport and Education at Brunel University, London, that isn't so. He teamed up with Spotify to analyze over 6 million playlist to create the perfect one for workouts.

Now, he is a scientist so he took a lot of different elements into consideration. He looked at beats per minute and scientific principles used for better performance.

“Music helps to induce alpha brain wave activity which is responsible for our dreams and rest states,” he explained. “This leads to a state known as 'flow,' which is an ultimate motivational state in which sportspeople are completely immersed in what they are doing and feel as if they are functioning on autopilot. Music lowers your perception of effort. It can trick your mind into feeling less tired during a workout and also encourage positive thoughts."

So this playlist is scientifically proven to work. Check it out and tell us if you agree or not. What song did he leave off that should totally be on there?
